Burned-out agent—if that phrase hits a little too close to home, this episode is for you. In this conversation on The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon sits down with Rebecca Del Pozo—Millionaire Real Estate Mom Coach & Trainer and author of Stop Winging It: Don't Accept Your Life, Lead It—to expose what's really happening underneath the exhaustion so many agents normalize. Because burnout usually isn't caused by one “crazy week.” It's often the fruit of living in reaction mode: saying yes too fast, staying busy without being effective, and confusing hustle with faithfulness.Rebecca shares the why behind her book and the John Maxwell quote that shaped it: most people accept their life—they don't lead it. That idea becomes a mirror for the modern real estate professional. You can “wing it” and still get contracts signed. You can stay moving and still feel stuck. And you can build momentum in the marketplace while quietly becoming a burned-out agent at home—resentful, scattered, and always behind.When you don't trust God with the outcome, you start trying to force the process. That's where ego, pride, and fear sneak in—especially for realtors of faith who genuinely want to honor the Lord but keep getting pulled toward shiny distractions, comparison, and reactive decisions. The result is the same: a calendar that owns you, a mind that won't shut off, and a business that keeps feeding the real estate grind.This episode gets extremely practical. Rebecca introduces the “not-to-do list”—a simple but powerful tool that reveals what drains you most and becomes a future job description (even if you can't afford help yet). For the real estate agent who feels scattered, she offers a refreshing truth: the reset is often smaller than you think. Tiny acts of obedience—using a calendar consistently, showing up prepared, setting boundaries around social media, protecting your attention, and creating structure—can pull a burned-out agent back into clarity faster than another “big strategy” ever will.They also confront one of the biggest time leaks in the industry: social media. Not because it's wrong, but because many agents consume more than they create—and call it “work.” Rebecca shares how she sets timers, removes notifications, and builds parameters so her mind stays aligned with what actually matters. Garrett reinforces why this is so important: distraction isn't neutral. It quietly drains your best energy and keeps you stuck in the real estate grind.If you're a burned-out agent who's tired of winging it, tired of reacting, and tired of building a business that drains your home life, this episode will meet you with conviction and hope. You'll walk away with practical steps to strengthen your realtor structure, build realtor systems, and create a faith driven business that's sustainable—not frantic.Connect with Rebecca - https://www.rebeccadelpozo.com/Resources & Opportunities:

What if the “safe” job you're clinging to is actually holding you back from the calling God wired you for? In this episode, Steven sits down with longtime friend and father of nine, Michael Beausejour,to unpack how an ordinary corporate employee stepped out in faith, built a thriving framing business from scratch, and provided more for his family than he ever imagined. Michael wasn't trained in construction. He wasn't an entrepreneur. He had a demanding day job and a growing family. But he also had a God-given itch to build, create, and multiply—and he refused to ignore it. Whether you're dreaming about starting a business, just feeling stuck, or wondering how to take a faithful risk without blowing up your family's stability, this conversation will give you the courage, clarity, and practical wisdom you need for faithful, fatherly, entrepreneurship.  Chapters (00:00:00) - Abraham's Wallet(00:01:31) - Michael Buble on His Hockey Tournament(00:02:01) - The Amazing Transition From Full-Time Employee to Full Time Entrepreneur(00:08:24) - Michael Jackson on Becoming An ENFP(00:12:22) - Bradley on Starting His Own Business(00:18:44) - Many framers struggle to get jobs(00:19:47) - Starting Your Own Business in Your 20s(00:22:45) - How to Build a Work-Life Balance(00:24:32) - The Scariest Moment in My Business(00:29:29) - Married Men Talk About Responsibilities(00:30:58) - Leading a Large Business with Multiple Jobs this year(00:36:26) - Good Samaritan Tells Story of His Pro Golfer(00:36:49) - Amino on Side Businesses(00:39:20) - Abraham's Wallet: Prayer for Family Legacy

What if building a business that supports your life actually isn't about hustle…but about resilience, systems, and intention?In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly and Joe sit down with Mike Lynch, creator, RV-lifer, automation strategist, and founder of Flywheel Factory, for a refreshingly honest conversation about what solopreneurship really looks like behind the scenes.Mike shares the truth most people won't say out loud: it's harder than you think, it takes longer than you expect, and the path rarely looks the way you planned. But it's also where creativity, freedom, and momentum can finally meet.You'll hear how Mike and his family design RV travel around work (not the other way around), how he uses AI and automation to protect his creative energy instead of replacing it, and why building a “flywheel mindset” matters more than just staying busy.This is a grounded, practical, and motivating episode for solopreneurs who want to build smarter systems, reclaim their time, and design a business that truly supports their life.Episode FAQsHow can solopreneurs use AI and automation without losing their personal voice?Solopreneurs can use tools like Custom GPTs, content workflows, and automation platforms (like Make or Zapier) to streamline their work while still sounding like themselves. The key is starting with your own ideas and experiences first, then using AI to refine, organize, and scale your content, not replace your thinking. What's the best way for overwhelmed solopreneurs to get started with automation?The best place to start is identifying one repetitive, frustrating task in your business and breaking it into smaller steps. From there, tools like Custom GPTs or simple automations can help eliminate bottlenecks. How can solopreneurs design a business that supports their lifestyle instead of causing burnout?It starts with defining non-negotiables (family time, flexibility, travel, health) and then building systems around those priorities.

Join My 8-Week Transformation Challenge https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-8week-challenge.html On this episode I talk about my personal framework for work-life balance and why there's no one right answer that works for everyone. I break down my "three gears" system—grinding 80-90% of the time, sprinkling in short trips throughout the year, and taking 1-2 complete unplugs annually—and explain why building a life you love means you don't need to constantly escape from it. I also challenge you to stop following society's rulebook and define what work-life balance actually means for YOU, not what your parents, peers, or society thinks it should be.

If you've ever felt torn between being fully present and fully committed, this episode is for you. When you're building something meaningful, the idea of work life balance sounds nice, but it rarely reflects reality. The business doesn't shut off. The responsibilities don't pause. And trying to perfectly separate the two often creates more tension than peace. In this episode, we talk about why integration matters more than balance. Why entrepreneurs don't need a clean line between work and life, but a better way to weave the people they care about into the journey. We share how communication, expectations, and alignment have played a bigger role than any schedule or system ever could. We get honest about what it looks like to build while people are depending on you. How resentment builds when the vision isn't shared. Why different seasons demand different levels of focus.

Register today for The FREE Busy Working Mom's Blueprint Summit - January 19th-26th   Returning to work after having kids is a huge transition, one that can be much harder than one may think. In this episode, Whitney connects with Rebecca Olson, a coach for working moms, to talk about the emotional toll so many women experience when returning to work after motherhood. What once felt meaningful can suddenly feel misaligned, and that identity shift can leave even the most driven women questioning themselves. Rebecca shares her own experience navigating this season and what she's learned from supporting countless working moms through the same transition.   Together, they unpack what Rebecca calls the "motherhood identity crisis" and the failure stories so many women silently carry. The belief that you are falling short at work and at home, that balance is impossible, or that you are somehow doing it wrong. Rebecca explains why these thoughts are so common, how cultural expectations reinforce them, and how to start loosening their grip. This conversation helps normalize the struggle while also offering a way forward that is rooted in clarity, self-trust, and redefining success on your own terms.   Rebecca also shares practical tools to help moms reclaim their time and energy, including how to set real boundaries around work and home, and her simple daily kickstart mindset practice. If you are navigating the return to work and craving more confidence, clarity, and ease, this episode will help you feel less alone and more grounded.

As we enter 2026, the global beverage industry is undergoing a seismic shift. Consumer demand has moved beyond simple hydration toward functional benefits, mindful consumption, and flavor sophistication. Tony Vieira, Founder of Mocean, is leading the conversation on how brands must pivot to meet these changing expectations. Vieira is available to provide expert commentary on: * The Rise of Beverage Alternatives: Why "sober-curious" culture is no longer a niche market but a primary driver in product development. * Adult-Centric Formulation: Moving away from the high-sugar, neon-colored energy drinks of the past toward sophisticated, performance-based ingredients. * The Moderation Movement: How shifting consumer habits around alcohol and caffeine are creating a new "Middle Ground" in the beverage aisle. * Flavor Profiles for the Mature Palate: Why modern consumers are trading artificial sweetness for complex, botanical, and fruit-forward profiles like White Peach and Strawberry Guava. Designing for the "Real World": Energy with Intent While the traditional energy drink market has long focused on extreme sports and gaming, Mocean has identified a significant white space: the high-achieving adult. "Our drinks are designed for people with real jobs, real responsibilities, and real goals," says Vieira. "We aren't just selling energy; we're selling the ability to stay sharp and balanced throughout a demanding day without the crash associated with legacy brands." Starting the New Year with Purpose As millions of consumers participate in "Dry January" and set wellness-focused New Year's resolutions, the demand for "better-for-you" alternatives is at an all-time high. Mocean provides a bridge for those looking to maintain their social rituals and energy levels without compromising their health goals.

"This year didn't knock me out all at once — it chipped away at me. And somehow, that's what taught me surrender, trust, and confidence." -Kristen Olson "I don't need to have the whole plan — I just need the courage to keep showing up, trusting the work, and letting the next step reveal itself." -Ashley Knight Every year, we sit down for one of our most meaningful conversations of the entire season — our annual Year in Review and Year in Preview, and for the seventh year running, I'm joined by the one and only Ashley Simone Knight .

It's about real reflection, honest growth, deep gratitude, and setting intentions for what's next — personally, professionally, and spiritually.

We talk about: Why 2025 felt like a year of being broken down — and rebuilt The power of confidence after doing the work Letting go of control and learning to surrender without quitting The role of community, mentors, and chosen family Navigating career uncertainty, relationships, and self-trust Why "being yourself" is not easy — but it's valuable How rest, fun, and alignment are non-negotiables moving into 2026 As we look ahead, we share what we're hoping for in 2026 — not rigid goals, but intentions rooted in peace, flow, abundance, love, health, and clarity.

Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! And Happy New Year… welcome to 2026. Before the goals, resolutions, planners, and pressure of a brand-new year take over, this episode is a moment to pause together. If you're ending one year exhausted and quietly hoping the next one will feel different… you're not alone. So many working moms start the year with good intentions, only to find themselves right back in survival mode… reacting instead of choosing, feeling behind instead of grounded, and wondering where the time went. In this short episode, I'm speaking to you not just as a coach… but as another working mom who's been there. Inside this episode, we talk about: ✨ Why motivation fades… and why that's not your fault ✨ Why planning tasks without priorities keeps us stuck ✨ How to stop letting another year just “happen” to you ✨ What it really means to design a year around your life… not the other way around This is not about doing more. It's not about hustle, perfection, or a brand-new you. It's about stepping into 2026 with intention.

Your brain is not broken and your mind is not a mess. You're not failing as a mom. You're not falling behind as an executive. We need to restore your hormones. I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Romie Mushtaq, neurologist, Chief Wellness Officer for a company of 14,000 people, and bestselling author of The Busy Brain Cure, to expose the workplace crisis that's destroying women's careers and health. Dr. Romie shares her own story of burnout: 120-hour work weeks as one of less than 5% of female brain doctors in academic medicine, researching women's hormones while her own brain cells felt "on fire," chest pain dismissed as "just stress," and life-saving surgery in 2010 that woke her up to what medical school never taught her. But this conversation goes far deeper than one woman's story. We unpack the shocking data showing women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are being forced out of the workforce at a rate 15 times higher than men, not because they're failing, but because their perimenopause and menopause symptoms are being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and weaponized against them. You'll Discover: ●     Why women ages 40-60 are being laid off or taking involuntary leave at rates 15 times higher than men ●     Dr. Romie's burnout journey in academic medicine ●     The "hormones are a symphony" framework ●     Why 70-80% of women with mental health symptoms due to stress actually have thyroid as the root cause, with difficulty focusing being the only presenting symptom (mistaken for ADHD or anxiety), while weight fluctuations, dry skin, and irregular cycles come later ●     The truth about perimenopause symptoms ●     Why "authentic leadership" is BS in corporate America ●     The functional medicine gatekeeping crisis: complex gut health diet protocols for busy traveling executives who spend $3,000-$10,000 without getting help, told to "earn your hormones," when brain fog/anxiety sufferers need low-hanging fruit first (progesterone, thyroid) to feel better THEN add lifestyle changes ●     Why no supplement will replace thyroid hormone: if a doctor is selling you supplements instead of prescription medication, run. ●     Stress eating vs comfort food distinction ●     Business dinner survival tactics PLUS, Dr. Romie's "glow up" secret: lost weight, skin glowing, looks younger than 50, wasn't Botox (though she covers gray hair every 3 weeks), was thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone restoration, started thyroid at 38-39 years old and had regular menstrual cycle for first time in her life This episode is for women in their 40s-60s experiencing brain fog at work, executives who can't focus in meetings, anyone told their symptoms are "just stress," or women considering quitting their jobs because they think they're failing. Watch now and discover why you don't need to quit, you need your hormones restored.   Connect with Dr. Romie Mushtaq Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drromie/ The Busy Brain Cure by Dr. Romie Mushtaq (bestselling book with 8-week protocol) https://drromie.com/book/   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Links: ●     The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book): https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/ ●     Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ ●     FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec ●     Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ ●     Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ More from the Podcast: Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

She sold 28 homes her first year, 86 the next, and 145 after that — all while becoming a first-time mom in a chaotic market.But behind the success was exhaustion, fear, and a quiet question many agents are afraid to ask: What does this level of hustle actually cost?In this episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon interviews Taley Hunt, a high-producing real estate agent, team leader, and mom who built an extraordinary business during one of the most intense markets in history — while navigating pregnancy, postpartum life, and early motherhood.Taley shares how she entered real estate with no prior industry experience, found out she was pregnant the day she passed her real estate exam, and went on to sell nearly 300 homes in three years. She opens up about the hidden cost of rapid success, including burnout, anxiety, and tying her self-worth to production.Garrett and Taley also dive into how she transitioned from blind hustle to intentional business ownership, why community and human connection matter more than ever in an AI-driven world, and how she now helps moms in real estate build big businesses without sacrificing their families or faith.Connect with Taley:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realestatemomcoach/- Website: https://taleyhunt.com/Key TakeawaysRapid success without boundaries can quietly lead to burnoutHustle alone is not a long-term business strategyMany agents tie self-worth to production without realizing itOrganic growth through relationships and community is powerful and sustainableSocial media and agent referrals can outperform paid leads when done intentionallyHuman connection will matter more — not less — in an AI-driven industryBuilding leverage is essential to protecting family timeDefining success personally is more important than industry benchmarksMoms in real estate need community, not comparisonYou can build a big business without trading your life for itChapters01:21 – Entering Real Estate During the Pandemic03:49 – First Deals, New Motherhood, and No Time Off 05:12 – Fear of Losing Momentum09:05 – Selling 28 Homes with No Childcare 11:03 – Scaling from 28 to 145 Transactions 12:25 – Learning to Leverage Time and Build Support 13:53 – How Social Media & Agent Referrals Built Her Business 16:11 – Teaching Agents to Build Through Community 19:11 – Why Human Connection Beats AI 22:15 – Helping Agents Find Their Niche and People 24:38 – When Production Became Identity 26:37 – Redefining Success and Setting Boundaries

Send us a textAre we living — or simply scrolling through life? In this powerful conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with digital wellbeing expert and endurance athlete Colin Corby to explore how our relationship with technology is quietly reshaping our health, focus, and sense of connection. Colin shares his extraordinary journey from tech-industry burnout to four Ironman triathlons, open-water distance swims, and ultimately building The Digital Detox Coach to help people reclaim time, energy, and clarity.We explore why so many of us wake up and reach for our phones, the subtle ways multitasking drains our cognitive power, how online “noise” crowds out creativity, and why younger generations struggle with real-life communication. Colin introduces the concept of becoming a business athlete — someone who treats recovery, mindset, focus, and boundaries as seriously as physical training.He breaks down signs you may need a digital reset, how habits form, the dangers of constant notifications, and why tech isn't the enemy — our lack of balance is.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or too “plugged in,” this episode offers a grounded, hopeful roadmap to healthier digital living.⭐ Top 3 Highlights

ITP -  136 brings back repeat guests Hannah and Jake Loney to share their winding international teaching journey from Brazil to Kuwait, back to the US, and now to Karachi, Pakistan. They talk candidly about teaching overseas with kids, differences in workload and respect compared to the US, small class sizes, strong school support, onboarding realities, and life on a secure campus. Along the way, they cover curriculum, travel, food challenges, cultural adjustments, and deliver a couple of classic police stories that only international teaching can produce. The big takeaway is simple and earned the hard way. Stay open minded, fall in love with the school not the country, and some of the best experiences come from places you never planned to land.The International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education. New Teachers, burned out local teachers, local School Leaders, International school Leadership, current Overseas Teachers, and everyone interested in international schools can benefit from hearing stories and advice about living and teaching overseas.Additional Gems Related to Our Show:Greg's Favorite Video From Living Overseas - ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQWKBwzF-hw⁠Signup to be our guest  ⁠https://calendly.com/itpexpat/itp-interview?month=2025-01⁠Our Website⁠ -  ⁠https://www.itpexpat.com/⁠Our FaceBook Group - ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/itpexpat⁠⁠JPMint Consulting Website  - ⁠https://www.jpmintconsulting.com/⁠Greg's Personal YouTube Channel: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs1B3Wc0wm6DR_99OS5SyzvuzENc-bBdO⁠Books By Gregory Lemoine:⁠International Teacher Guide: Finding the "Right Fit" 2nd Edition (2025)⁠ | by Gregory Lemoine M.Ed.⁠⁠"International Teaching: The Best-kept Secret in Education"⁠⁠ | by Gregory Lemoine M.Ed.Partner Podcasts:Just to Know You:  https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/just-to-know-you/id1655096513Educators Going Global: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/educators-going-global/id1657501409⁠

Our Hall Of Fame guidance on work-family balance.

Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! We're continuing our Becoming Her series, and today we're diving into a big one—the career you want in 2026. As we close out this year and prepare to open a fresh new chapter, this episode is an invitation to pause and reflect before jumping into goal-setting or making big decisions. Because this conversation is for both types of working moms: • The mom who feels unfulfilled and knows she wants something different • The mom who likes her job, values her career, and wants to grow or climb the ladder... without burning herself out If you've ever found yourself busy, productive, and checking all the boxes… yet still feeling disconnected or restless, this episode is for you. In this deeply personal and practical episode, I share my own journey of realizing I had slowly lost pieces of myself in survival mode… and how slowing down, getting clear, and taking intentional steps changed everything. You'll also learn how to identify whether you're being called to stay, stretch, or shift in this next season… and how to move forward without pressure, guilt, or overwhelm.

https://teachhoops.com/ The "three-legged stool" of a high school coach's life—career, coaching, and family—is notoriously wobbly. In this episode, we address the silent struggle that drives many great coaches out of the profession: the overwhelming guilt of trying to be everything to everyone. We discuss the reality of the "invisible hours"—the film study at the dinner table, the mental absence even when you are physically present, and the strain that a four-month season places on spouses and children. We move beyond the cliché of "balance"—which often implies everything is equal—and focus instead on "work-life integration" and setting boundaries. We share practical strategies for protecting your family time, such as establishing "no-phone zones," scheduling date nights with the same rigidity as practice times, and finding creative ways to involve your children in the program so they don't view the team as their competition for your love. We also discuss the vital importance of having a transparent, pre-season conversation with your spouse to manage expectations before the chaos begins. Finally, we look at the long-term perspective. We argue that you cannot be an effective leader for your players if your home life is falling apart. We explore the concept of quality over quantity and why "leaving work at the gym" is the single best thing you can do for your mental health. This episode is a survival guide for keeping your marriage healthy and your relationship with your kids strong, all while chasing a championship.
